PLAYERNAME, I'm glad you called, I have something big here for you.
|
|
|
That mass of negative energy we've been investigating is a portion of an ancient kingdom called Almire, the very same realm described in that Owlite tome you discovered!
|
|
- But that tome suggested Almire was destroyed over a thousand years ago...
|
Exactly! So what the heck is it doing in the Clockworks now? It just doesn't make any sense.
So, if we are to believe that indeed a lost kingdom from the past has somehow wound up in a massive mechanical world in present day, the question remains, why?
|
|
- And why is it now blocking access to the Core, now that we're so close?
|
It's all a bit too convenint. But do gremlins really have this kind of power? I suspect something more than even what they are capable of engineering.
In any case, this Almire, it's not a kingdom any longer. All that remains is a great citadel that seems to be engulfed in never-ending flames that Spiral HQ has been calling the 'Firestorm Citadel'. From what we can tell, the whole place is swarming with undead and built like a fortress.
|
|
- I take it the only way to the Core is through the Firestorm Citadel?
|
It would seem so. And this place, it just radiates evil, it's almost indescribable. It's even starting to affect the levels surrounding it- fires are breaking out everywhere.
You're one of the best we've got, PLAYERNAME and if there's anyone that could lead a squad through the citadel it's you. But even reaching it won't be easy. We're going to need to take care of a few fires and gather bit more intel before storming the gates.
|
|
- Roger that. So you've got some missions lined up for me?
|
Indeed. Let's start by putting out some fires and then we'll see about trying to get to the citadel. Given the opposition, it's a one in a million shot.
Good luck, PLAYERNAME.
